Begins rehab assignment
Ruf (knee) will begin a minor-league rehab assignment Tuesday with Triple-A Nashville, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Ruf has been sidelined since early June due to a non-displaced fracture in his right kneecap, so he'll probably need several rehab games to get back up to speed. The 37-year-old holds a weak .224/.333/.286 batting line in 57 major-league plate appearances this season between San Francisco and Milwaukee.

Ruf drew the ire of Mets fans with his performance down the stretch (.152/.216/.197). It didn't help that J.D. Davis -- part of the trade to acquire Ruf -- posted an .857 OPS following the move. Of course it's ridiculous to blame Ruf for the Mets losing hold of the division lead, but for some he embodies the collapse. His first couple seasons back from the Korea Baseball Organization were largely successful. He mashed left-handed pitching to the tune of a .283/.414/.593 line in 2021 and the Mets will be betting on a rebound from Ruf in a short-side platoon role. His walk rate plummeted following the trade (from 12.7% to 6.8%) -- a sign he was pressing. It's hard to imagine it can get worse for him than it was in Queens last season, though if he gets off to a slow start, the pressure will mount again quickly.
